Civil Engineering Expert for AI Training

You will help train AI systems by creating realistic civil and structural engineering problems and reviewing the technical work they produce. Your feedback will show whether an answer is accurate, practical, and consistent with professional engineering practice.

• Create engineering problems based on design, modeling, estimating, construction, and project workflows.
• Review AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with industry standards.
• Check calculations, assumptions, models, quantities, estimates, and design recommendations for real-world use.
• Assess structural design, code compliance, fabrication-accurate modeling, quantity takeoffs, estimating, and applied engineering analysis.
• Write clear, structured feedback that helps improve AI model performance.

What it pays and takes

This is ongoing, project-based contract work with flexible part-time participation. There is no set schedule or minimum-hour requirement, and the work is remote and asynchronous.

• Pay: Up to $90 per hour.
• Location: Open to candidates in the United States.
• Language: Fluent written English with strong written communication skills.
• Current civil or structural engineering work, or relevant field experience within the past three years.
• Bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience producing models, calculations, quantities, estimates, or other technical deliverables used by others.
• Technical depth in at least one area such as code-based structural design, modeling and detailing, quantity takeoffs, estimating, simulation, construction documentation, or project design.
• Careful attention to detail and the ability to explain complex engineering concepts clearly.

Helpful background

• PE license or EIT certification.
• Experience with building codes, structural standards, engineering specifications, BIM, construction documentation, or multidisciplinary coordination.
• Experience using AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Tekla Structures, SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD.Pro, RAM Structural System, RISA, or comparable software.
• Experience with steel, reinforced concrete, timber, masonry, foundations, specialty structures, estimating, quantity surveying, cost modeling, or takeoff software.

About AI training work

AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including writing, reviewing, and rating model responses. Engineers are paid for this work because their subject knowledge helps identify errors and judge whether technical answers are safe and useful.
